After the love has gone: an emotion based-theory of whistleblowing decision-making process

Résumé

Emotions in organizations have lately known a “reappraisal” and this topic is particularly accurate concerning whistle-blowers’ stories, which are often dramatic narratives, filled with tensions and emotions. However, an assumption that seems to be taken for granted is that whistleblowing decision-making process are mostly based on negative emotions, such as stress and anger. In this working paper, we question this assumption in wondering if other emotions are involved in the whistleblowing decision-making process. Using a life-story narrative based on the case of Stephanie Gibaud, who blew the whistle on tax fraud in a French bank in 2007, we show that attachment and care for the organizations are likely to be part of the decision-making process, in the quest for “correcting” the organization. After the alert, we show that pride, as a symbolic counterpart, is part of the whistleblowing resilience story.
